WELCOME TO THE CITY OF AKRON

From the Mayor

Fall is in full-swing! I encourage all citizens to take advantage of all the fall festivities Akron has to offer.

We also hope you’ll take some time to visit the City of Akron Safety Force Open House Events that are scheduled in October at our Akron Fire Stations. Each open house will give residents an opportunity to tour the station, talk to our firefighter/medics and learn more about smoke detectors and fire prevention. Guests will get to see and touch fire equipment; including protective gear, extractor machines and thermal imaging cameras.

Members of our Akron Police Department will also be present and will let residents get a first-hand experience with a police cruiser and the new body-worn cameras. Information on police safety equipment will be shared along with details on free community programs being offered this fall.

Information on Issue 4, Akron’s Income Tax Levy to support our police, fire/EMS and roads, will also be available.

Please bring your children and make it a family affair! Each open house event will give our youngest residents an opportunity to “touch a truck,” where they can get a hands-on experience with fire trucks and police cruisers. Light refreshments will be provided. We hope you can join us!
